One man, Two Guvnors is a comical, enjoyable journey of a play that invites all ages to laugh using another outdated artform as it’s source of inspiration – Luka Kovaletskye

Bean successfully was able to communicate his messages over to the audience and still find a way to make the audience laugh; moreover finding a way for them to actually listen  – Franchesca Boselli

The use of physicality in One Man 2 Guvnors was very effective. All the characters used it to express themselves specifically Francis Henshaw during his moments of clumsiness – Tofunmi Rilwan
